'''Review:''' "The Novo is a reasonably new product from Paiste. It's a 'Chinese' special-effect cymbal which is designed to have more than one playing surface (and sound), yet still sit on the cymbal stand in a civilised way. To this end the bell has been inverted, and its shape changed. It's a dome now, not a square-shouldered cup. So, I hear you asking, what difference does it make? Well, besides the fact that it sits in a better riding position, it also has a totally different sound. Of course it has that 'full-of-Eastern-promise' clashing sound but with a difference. For a start its bell is playable and gives a slightly hollower sound; its 'flat' portion is tasteful and not too strident. The inner flange is really aggressive while the outer edge itself, is much brighter but with less middle. Novos are only available in 2002 materials in 18", 20" and 22" diameters. (Funnily enough when you increase their size, you increase their volume, but their overall sound remains very constant. They do not work well if you turn them upside-down)." <br> | '''Review:''' "The Novo is a reasonably new product from Paiste.

To this end the bell has been inverted, and its shape changed. It's a dome now, not a square-shouldered cup. So, I hear you asking, what difference does it make? Well, besides the fact that it sits in a better riding position, it also has a totally different sound. Of course it has that 'full-of-Eastern-promise' clashing sound but with a difference.
